Easy Free Criminal Background Checks
Running a free criminal background check is much easier than you would think, and I’m going to give you some tips right now on how to do it.
Now, a free criminal background check is not going to be as thorough as the paid version, but you can learn a LOT. Here are some quick easy tips for you.
First of all, you are going to want to check with the National Sex Offender Registry. What’s that you say? The prospective date, nanny, or employee that you want to check up on could not possibly be a sex offender?
Let me tell you. No sex offender in the world comes with a warning label tattooed on their head, and the reason that many of them get away with doing what they do is that they are charming and charismatic. It is free and easy to run a records check through the National Sex Offender Registry, so there is no reason not to.
Now, many local counties, cities and states have their own version of sex offender registries these days so you should check those also.
Next, check to find out if the county where the person you are running a check on has court records available online. If so you can do a criminal records search for free from the privacy of your own home. If not, you will have to go to the county courthouse.
You will want to do criminal records checks AND civil records checks.
Civil records checks can tell you a lot. They can tell you if someone has declared bankruptcy, if they have been sued, if they have filed a lawsuit, if they have been divorced in that county…
And by the way divorce filings and proceedings can tell you a lot about a person as well.
In some states, a person’s driving history is public record. You can find out if someone has frequently been cited for speeding, for example.
These are just a few ways that you can find out a whole lot about a person’s character and background, for free.
